Building on a skill called emotion regulation, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers life skills to promote mental health and a positive sense of self. DBT is for anyone who has had problems regulating their emotions or using healthy coping skills. DBT is an evidence-based treatment for a wide variety of disorders. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy was initially intended to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD) but has been adapted to treat mental health conditions, including anger management, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, and self-harm.
